Abstract
A variety of local or systemic conditions may mimic an infectious process in the hand and upper extremities. Familiarity with these conditions is important so that appropriate diagnosis and management may ensue. Most of the conditions presented in this article may be successfully managed nonsurgically; however, certain conditions such as the extravasation of a chemotherapy agent or retained foreign body require surgical intervention.
